The head coach “Torpedo” Igor Larionov insisted on the departure of the defender Maxim Fedotov in the NHL, but the player and his brother, forward Ilya Fedotov, wanted to move to SKA, said former SKA and Russian national team defenseman coach Alexander Yudin.
– Peter now leads the most active transfer business – and there is nothing strange in that, the team is being recruited for the season. Any club has the opportunity to dispose of its assets, and the players are precisely the trump card. Here is the same “Torpedo” gives the Fedotovs, in return gets players good rights and obviously not a bag of potatoes. Moreover, not a single transfer is possible without the will of both parties, which means that everyone is happy with everything. I heard that the fact is that the Fedotovs themselves wanted to go to St. Petersburg. The Torpedo head coach insisted that it was time for Maxim to go abroad, but he felt it was still too early and it would be more useful for him to progress in SKA. In general, the right approach is that in the NHL no one guarantees anything to a young man, but here he will play, become a strong player in the base of the club, who fights for the highest places. At his age, that’s what you need to think about, not agency games, Yudin told The Championship.
In the 2022/23 season, 21-year-old Maxim Fedotov played 64 games in the regular season, where he scored 26 (9+17) points, and 10 games in the playoffs, scoring 7 (2+5) points.
